\"LOAlogoBLOG\"<\/a>This is post 245 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to manifest your desires.. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong><\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been getting press releases lately for how to prepare if you\u2019re in a mass shooting situation or things like that. People are trying to learn what to do in case it happens to them. What does that tell the Universe? That you expect to be caught in that kind of situation. Guess what it could attract? Although the chances are unlikely whether you prepare or not,t putting energy into anticipating unlikely negative\u00a0 eventss makes you more likely to encounter them.<\/p>\n

Years ago a friend moved to NYC for a while. He was a strapping guy. But he said he felt unsafe in the city. He said often, \u201cI\u2019m concerned that I\u2019ll get mugged when I\u2019m here.\u201d I laughed, because I \u2018m a better target to be mugged than a tall strong guy and I\u2019m not worried. He asked how many times I\u2019ve been in danger and was surprised when I said \u201cnever,\u201d since I\u2019ve lived here for my whole life.<\/p>\n

I explained to him that my expectation was to be safe so I was. He said he was always on his guard–ready to be jumped. I warned him to stop being preparing in case he’s mugged or he\u2019d attract it. But he didn\u2019t listen. He said he developed ways to walk to keep an eye out for trouble. And he held tightly to anything he carried. He was proud of how prepared he was for anyone who might bother him. Yet his focus on being careful about not being mugged kept being mugged in his thoughts. And the Law of Attraction responds to that.<\/p>\n

After all, he prepared himself for someone to try to mug him so I wasn\u2019t surprised when it happened. He expected it to and his behavior that was always prepared for trouble reflected that. He called one day to say a group of teens tried to take his good leather jacket. He was proud that his preparation helped him get away. I told him that being prepared to be mugged attracted it. I walk without fear and have never been bothered.<\/p>\n

Of course you should be prepared for a power outage if you have a storm coming and people who live in areas where there are tornadoes should have a shelter. But watching the news and preparing yourself for an unlikely emergency tells the Universe you expect something bad to happen, and you\u2019re more likely to attract an emergency situation. Always looking over your shoulder for something bad to happen attracts trouble. Expecting to be safe helps keep you safe.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4576"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4627,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4576\/revisions\/4627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
